It is also better to discuss Xiaomi/Aqara stuff here instead of flows on motion or timers starting/ending. Someone made a really nice post for that alr on the flows section.
Hi Guys, I paired 2 aqara motion sensor and 1 double switch to Homey. I am tried to discover these devices in Alexa App, but they are not found (Honey skill already linked to Alexa). Is it normal?
Thanks in advice for help
Should have router capabilities. Since it does not work yet,canât test
Hi all, for the aqara double wall switch, the second button does not show up as another button. So I create a virtual device and a flow to link to the 2nd button. But the problem of this is that when someone manually click on the switch, it does not send feedback to honey and show it as open. Is there a way for it to show open in honey?

If itâs connected to a light for example, if âlight xâ turns on set âvirtual device yâ to on.
Canât you do something like that?
Canât, no option for that.
How come there is no option for that?
You canât make a flow that if device x goes on vd y turns on??
I do this all the time, what do you want to turn on/off with the button?
It is correct that it does turn motion alarm off after the 60 seconds (or what you configure), even if there are motion in front of it during the time. It is a backside of Aqaras device. Philips Hues motion sensor for example does not turn of motion alarm until the movement in front of the sensor has calmed down, so that is better. But as people has described, you can work around it with the right combinations of countdown timers, even if I personally think that Philips way of doing it is better and gives better functions.
But you can buy three Aqara sensors for the price of one Philips, so in my case I have more Aqara than Philips, and live with the backside effect. And as someone describes, the are many examples in the Flow section in how to solve it.
Ok, probably my explanation not very clear.
Yes, I have assigned and created 2 flows for the virtual device to turn on and off the right switch from Homey. The issue is when I physically turn on the right switch, the virtual device does not register as turn on.
I do understand what you mean,
This isnât the best example but when you turn on the âKastlamp - Kastâ with the button,
Then Homey could see that and set your Virtual Device (button 2) in this example âZonneschermen - Virtueel Apparatenâ to ON.
I can confirm for others, that Aqara relay is seen as a router and it works as zigbee mesh extender. So far I have connected it as a generic zigbee device. Now waiting for Ted to implement it in the app
@Daniel_S
Good to know!
What type of switch is supposed to be used; momentary?
Thank you! I manage to get it working! It also mean I got 25 x 2 flows to work withâŚ
Dear Ted, I am also interested in using the Two-way relay controller.
Regards
Send him some beers too to encourage him But I know Ted is already working on it. I am now able to control my gardenhouse light which is around 15 meters far from house. I can also add the door sensor there which was not possible untill now because of the weak zigbee signal. Now all works like a charm on the distance.
You have to add a scene i think there are all the button combinations
Have changed it a bit since it didnt work that good. If the sensor was triggered again the timer would start again but also ended after 90 seconds from the previous flow overruling the new timer.
I did this: created a timer âWashokâ
Motion set to 60 sec
Hourglass set to 80
Motion on:
IF washok sensor triggers THEN turn on lights at 100% and turn hourglass
Motion off:
IF hourglass washok is empty THEN turn off light washok
So everytime it trigger it will turn the hourglass. So i got 20 seconds between the sensor not registering movement before turning off, could tweak this a bit.
Motion on:
Motion off:
I we give @TedTolboom to much beer he canât think straight
But @Ted. Can you give us a glimp how far you are? The relay is already implemented in my wall but i can only use 1 switch.
Any news about the integration?
I try to add Mi door sensors (MCCGQ01LM), but i get all the time the message that it took to long adding those devices. I added without any problems a Mi motion sensor, after that i tried again to add a door sensor, but without luck. I keep the device awake to press the button in the hole every 2 sec. as mentioned.
Also tried to connect when very close to Homey.
